Can i rinse my mouth with clorox to help fight gum disease?

No. Do not.: Clorox is a cleaning product for the house and has bleach, making it dangerous. Please do not do it. Please see my comment for good products to fight gum disease. Again, please do not use clorox.

Please no!: Clorox is toxic. Mouthrinses such as listerine are made for this; but they are to help prevent it, not treat it once you have the disease. They won't help make it better then.
